Grab the reins,
keep your wits
Life is fleeting,
moments fly
Blind the eye,
feel the way
Throw off heed
and just believe

More wonderful words, C.B.! This poem totally fits the sculpture! And also some wise advice about living life? Keeping our wits, no matter what, and holding onto faith, regardless.
Thanks!
I kept coming back to this picture all week long. I didn’t know why until the words started pouring out. I’m shocked at how it all came together!
What powerful words to describe a powerful sculpture! I love it!
Thanks!
That sculpture literally made me stop in my tracks. It’s really powerful in person and I think about it often (despite the passing of almost 8 months).
Amazing movement in that statue!!! And powerful words to go with it!!
Thanks!
The movement is what drew me to it – There are parts that look like they shouldn’t be able to “float” but they do! It’s mesmerizing.
Poem and photo are both amazing. WOW
Thanks!
These lines are why I had to pass twice during WIG on Tuesday.
LOVE this, C.B!
Thank you!
Nice to see you!
I absolutely love the flow and rhythm of this. This is wonderful read aloud, it’s a beauty.
Thank you!
This one came out very quickly like it was there all along and just waiting for me to find it. I love it when that happens.
fabulous words for this picture, CB ~
Thank you!
I’m looking forward to what London will say next!
very nice!
Thank you!
that sculpture just makes you want to get up and move, and dance, and be one with life. Your words capture the energy of it so beautifully.
It’s amazing how a static piece of art can move so much and radiate so much energy. My words can’t do it justice, but I’m glad they show a little bit of what it meant to me.
Love the images – but the words? So powerful!!
Thanks – glad you liked it!
